🟢 The 'Some' Pattern

In the story, we see a great way to describe groups of people without using numbers:

  • Some people liked the jacket. \rightarrow (A group liked it)
  • Some people did not like it. \rightarrow (A different group disliked it)

Why this helps you: Instead of saying "Many people" or "10 people," use Some + noun. It is the easiest way to talk about a part of a group in English.


🕰️ Past vs. Present

Look at how the story jumps between then and now:

  1. Past (Finished): "Rory wore a green jacket." (He is not wearing it now).
  2. Present (Current): "He now lives in London." (This is his current home).

Quick Tip: When you see now, use the simple present form (lives, works, plays). When you talk about the event on July 1st, use the past form (wore, went, won).
